D K Harrell blues band

DK Harrell band at the Limoges jazz festival, loud, incredibly energetic, not great music but superb entertainment.

The photo of the sax player is superb. You captured the facial expression at a perfect time. However, the spot over the guitar player's head is distracting. I tried to get rid of it in Photoshop, but my processing skills aren't up to the task. I think part of the problem is that the area is nearly blown out, possibly fully blown out on viewer's left. I tried all sorts of both conventional and AI tools and didn't come up with anything very good. The best I got, by selecting the area manually and using generative fill, was converting it to a set of smaller lights, somewhat like those above it. Not great. I'll paste it anyway. IMHO, it would be worth working on that because it detracts what is in other respects really an excellent environmental portrait.

As you say Dan, the offending light is burned out, so it requires drastic adjustment. I'd left it alone as unworkable.
I've had another try and got a passable result by selecting the musicians, then inverting the mask to give a background selection (better selection than selecting background) then intersecting that with a radial gradient to treat the area around the light and intersecting again with a luminosity mask to focus on the light. It sort of works, but I think, in the end, I prefer the original - the resulting harsh black around the clearly backlit second musician jarrs. Not worth posting.
